a cleaner support that extends in a second direction crossing to the first direction to support the dust container of the handheld cleaner, and

a dust collector provided in the charging stand body and configured to communicate with the dust container of the handheld cleaner based on the cleaner support supporting the dust container of the handheld cleaner.

2. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the first direction is a vertical direction, and the second direction is parallel to a floor and perpendicular to the first direction.

3. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the dust container and the battery are arranged in a direction parallel to the first direction based on the cleaner support supporting the dust container of the handheld cleaner.

4. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the dust container has a cylindrical shape, and the cleaner support comprises a rounded surface configured to support the dust container having the cylindrical shape.

5. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the cleaner support is configured to support the dust container in a state in which an extension tube is connected to the handheld cleaner and extends in a direction parallel to the first direction.

6. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the cleaner support is positioned lower than the charging port.

7. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the charging port is positioned higher than the dust container of the handheld cleaner, based on the cleaner support supporting the dust container of the handheld cleaner.

8. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein a plurality of charging ports are provided on the first surface, and

wherein the plurality of charging ports are spaced apart from each other in a third direction crossing the first direction and the second direction.

9. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the charging stand body comprises:

a first body comprising the dust collector and the first surface, and

a second body that extends from the first body and comprises the cleaner support.

10. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the first surface is configured to face the dust container of the handheld cleaner based on the cleaner support supporting the dust container of the handheld cleaner.

11. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , wherein the charging stand body further comprises a device configured to generate a suction force such that dust in the dust container of the handheld cleaner moves to the dust collector by the suction force.

12. The cleaner holder of claim 1 , further comprising:

a stand that extends downward from the charging stand body and is seated on a floor,

wherein a distance between the cleaner support and the charging port is less than a distance between the cleaner support and the floor.
